Chia Seed Powder Salmonella Poisoning Lawsuit

Organic sprouted chia powder has been linked to an unusual salmonella outbreak that sickened at least 31 people in 16 states. It was unusual due to the fact that the chia powder was said to be responsible for three different strains of salmonella bacteria – Salmonella Newport, Salmonella Hartford and Salmonella Oranienburg – in a single outbreak.

Chia Powder Recalls

Chia powder is made from chia seeds that are spouted, dried & ground. The salmonella outbreak has resulted in multiple recalls of organic sprouted chia powder and chia seeds. According to the CDC, this outbreak appears to be over, but these products have a long shelf life and it’s unlikely that all contaminated products have been properly disposed of.

CDC Recommendation

CDC recommends that consumers avoid eating any of the recalled chia powder and chia seeds. Recalled products were distributed throughout the U.S. and Canada. CDC’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System for Enteric Bacteria (NARMS) lab performed antibiotic resistance tests on isolates collected from 4 patients who were diagnosed with Salmonella Hartford or Newport. All isolates were determined to be pansusceptible (susceptible to all antibiotics tested).
